 Product? Cute?  Who cares about cute, I want something that stomps on penguins
and other things that get in the way.  I don't think I should go to amazon.com
presentations anymore.  The Moskus is cool, but the Hurd is an aggregation of
things, so I believe a herd of GNUs is a better mascot.  If you think of a 
cool free software project Moskus would be a kicking name.
